We investigated the development of intercultural competence (IC) among engineering students participating in an international study program (GoLaSalle). IC was measured using the Multicultural Personality Questionnaire (MPQ) by Van der Zee and Van Oudenhoven (2001), and the Expanded Cultural Intelligence Scale (E-CQS) by Van Dyne et al. (2012). Dat...

Using an expanded assessment of cultural intelligence (CQ), this study provides a detailed analysis of how studying abroad impacts the development of CQ. We examined (1) the effect of a study abroad semester on the development of each of the eleven subdimensions of cultural intelligence – Expanded-CQ or E-CQ over time; and (2) whether personality t...

This article is the continuation of the work that has already been completed in a first study on the perception of engineering students at UniLaSalle Beauvais about education for sustainable development (SD) and innovation. Its purpose is to show the evolution over time of the perception of engineering students regarding SD and innovation after int...

L'objectif de cette étude consiste à vérifier les liens entre l'intensité de l'engagement associatif et différentes dimensions du développement personnel et interpersonnel d'élèves-ingénieurs. 362 élèves-ingénieurs (54 % de filles), d'une moyenne d'âge de 21,3 ans (ET = 1,0) ont été interrogés. Les résultats montrent que l'intensité de l'engagement...

Based on self-determination theory, this research presents the development of a scale to assess motivation for engineering studies in a Francophone context. Three phases of data collection were conducted (N = 462, 545 and 864) for a total of 1871 engineering students (59.2% female). Results from both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses sup...

En prenant appui sur la théorie de l’autodétermination, cette recherche présente l’élaboration d’une échelle de mesure de la motivation aux études d’ingénieurs en contexte francophone. Trois collectes de données ont été menées (N = 462, 545 et 864) auprès d’un total de 1871 élèves ingénieurs (59,2 % de sexe féminin). Les résultats des analyses fact...

L’internationalisation croissante des Grandes Ecoles d’Ingénieurs est un enjeu qui soulève de nouveaux défis dans la formation des futurs ingénieurs. Pour accompagner ses étudiants dans l’acquisition des compétences linguistique, interculturelle et managériale, l’école d’ingénieurs UniLaSalle a construit un dispositif pédagogique organisé autour d’...

Résumé Cette communication vise à identifier les types et raisons de l’innovation dans l’enseignement à l’Institut Polytechnique UniLaSalle. Pour cela, nous avons mené deux études auprès de la Direction, des responsables des parcours et des élèves qui ont permis d’identifier quatre types d’innovations. Le retour des élèves se rapproche de celui des...

In higher education, the challenge of Sustainable Development (SD) is a potential driver for differentiation of curricula, pedagogy, organizational change, etc. In a previous study we conducted an exploratory research based on the case of UniLaSalle, French Engineering School. Interviews of the executive management team and of the curricula managem...

Cet article décrit les différentes étapes mises en place afin d'accompagner les élèves dans la réalisation d'un projet d'équipe effectué dans le cadre de leur dernière année d'étude en école d'ingénieur. Depuis la formation de l'équipe jusqu'à l'évaluation du travail fourni, l'accent est mis sur deux aspects fondamentaux : i) la gestion des relatio...

A partir des variables de la personnalité et du bien-être, notre recherche explore les caractéristiques d'étudiants de niveau Master 1 et les rapproche de celles des individus entreprenants. Il s'agit à terme d'être en mesure de proposer des actions pédagogiques visant le déploiement du potentiel entrepreneurial des étudiants. Mots-clés Etudiants,...

Cet article souhaite mettre en lumière les initiatives prises par l'Institut Polytechnique Lasalle-Beauvais depuis 2012 pour accompagner les enseignants, les inciter à changer tout en innovant leurs pratiques. Les dispositifs mis en place ouvrent ainsi des perspectives en matière de développement professionnel de l'enseignant et de soutien aux appr...

Dans cette étude, nous explorons l’apport des variables de la motivation et des styles d’apprentissage dans la prédiction de la performance scolaire d’élèves-ingénieur. Les styles d’apprentissage, définis à partir du profil de préférences cérébrales, et la motivation à poursuivre des études, définie à partir de la théorie de l’autodétermination, on...

Among the wide range of factors influencing students' performance, what are the roles of motivation and individual differences? This study focuses on three research questions: (1) How can motivation and students' individual preferences be conceptualized? (2) Depending on the curriculum, are graduate students characterized by specific profiles? (3)...

For businesses, in a climate of increased international competition, it is vital to anticipate the impact of culture on the economy to permit the enterprise to finalize its projects in the best possible way. In fact, cultures do not only influence our individual behaviour but also and mainly our conceptions of a company, strategy, management, law,...

The Strategist (Key Actor) for a Knowledge Based Economy : the Enthropology Engineer The move from a product-market economy to a service-market economy compels us to determine precisely what one means by a ‘project based’management strategy. If the legitimization of such ‘project’strategy increases jointly with the imperatives imposed by the knowle...

L'objectif de la présente communication est d'abord de formuler une critique rapide des outils du Management par Objectif et par Projet. Une telle critique, formulée par des Auteurs qui s'en sont faits les chantres, ne porte pas sur les méthodologies qu'il fallait il y a trente ans développer comme elles l'ont été, en particulier au Québec. Elle po...

The effects of AlN additions and heat treatments on the mechanical behavior of three different Al-AlNp composites were studied. The mechanical properties of Al matrices were increased. The strain in the composites was reduced by up to 7 times compared to the strains measured in the non-reinforced matrices.

Three Al–AlN composites (2024, 6060, 5754 with ∼45vol% AlN) fabricated by squeeze casting were studied by TEM. Chemical reactions occurring at the matrix–AlN interfaces have been investigated. MgAl2O4 spinel crystals were found in 6060 and 5754 composites. The magnesium element of the matrix reacts with a very thin alumina layer which is deposited...

This work is a contribution towards the atomic-scale understanding of the phenomenon of seizing. This phenomenon often takes place when two surfaces of stainless steels are in contact as in the example of a screw and a nut. The main goal is to determine the influence of specific elements (such as Ni or Cr) on the adhesive energy of interfaces invol...

The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations and mechanical behavior of Aluminium-Aluminium nitride (Al-AlN) composites were analyzed. The Al-AlN composites were prepared using a melt infilteration process. Alumina is formed and deposited on the AlN particles during infilteration. A spinel interfacial precipitation is observed in AlMgSi0...

The thermal and elastic properties of several metal matrix composites reinforced with aluminum nitride particles were studied. The composites were fabricated by the squeeze casting route, and certain variables were measured for the non-reinforced and reinforced materials. These were the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE); thermal conduction; an...

Aluminium-matrix composites containing approximately 45 vol.% AlN particles were fabricated by melt infiltration of aluminium into an AlN preform under a pressure up to 130 MPa. Three types of aluminium alloy (2024, 6060 and 5754) were used. The as-prepared composites were studied by light microscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopies...

Aluminium-matrix composites containing approximately 55 vol.% AlN particles were fabricated by melt infiltration of aluminium into an AlN preform under a pressure of up to 130 MPa. Two different AlN powders (H.C. Starck, Goslar, Germany, and ESK, Elektroschmelzwerk, Kempten, Germany) and four types of aluminium alloy (2024, 1070, 6060 and 5754) wer...

Elemental powders of 80 vol% 5000 Al-alloy (3 wt.% Mg) and 20 vol% AlN were milled in different mechanical conditions and at three different temperatures (in liquid nitrogen (cryomilling), low temperature (about −50°C) and room temperature). The effects of these parameters on the milling efficiency of Al and AlN and on the mechanical alloying were...
